End of Gallic war speculation

Well, I`d like to see planet New London being depopulated and becoming uninhabitable world for the next decades as a result of this war. And it does not matter if Gallia wins this war or not.
How could this be achieved? Well I have two options in mind:

1. The GRN uses scorched earth tactic to demoralize their enemies (or instead unwillingly infuriate them). Besides trying to demoralize Bretonia / Liberty it could also be done due to their experience with planet Leeds. They do not have the ressources to start another long lasting ground battle while thei supply line in the Taus endangered (or cut off? not sure what it is ATM). So, they use all of their battleships for a planetwide orbital bombardement. Even if they loose this war, Gallia was here to punish their enemies and what would be better than destroy one of your most hated enemies`homeworld?

2. The nomads / Wilde perform a false flag terrorist attack during the ongoing battle, triggering some nuclear explosions on the ground and the atmosphere of NL, or some chemical and biological weapons here and there. It would not be a such a great attack like Toledo, rather a surgical strike with weapons used to weaken mankind further while Gallia will be blamed for it. Perhaps even the queen will be killed during the siege? Who knows. Gallia might even blame Liberty / Bretonia for making NL uninhabitable to deny them their prize. And back in a dark corner the nomads have a good laugh. (And to be honest I really prefer this situation rather than no. 1.)

Anyway, another result will be that system New Londong will be a huge wasteland with an depopulated planet, stations and lanes across the system either destroyed or barely in service.
Liberty will be forced to use even more ressources on keeping Bretonia afloat, literally being Bretonias new regents. Their fleets exhausted by the whole war makes them barely able to keep up the front, let alone set up a counter push against Gallia.
Bretonia due to the loss of New London is forced to set up a pawn government in exile either on planet Sprague or Gran Canaria (or perhaps Cambridge), with most of its economy and military being shattered. Aland will not be given up which results in more tensions with the IMG.

Gallia on the other side will leave New London system and keep a firm control over Leeds, Roussillon and Edinburgh when news reaches them that Ilse de France has fallen to Council. In the aftermath of this, the Gallia core worlds are being cut off one by one from the rest of Sirius, only a few home systems like Languedoc, effectively cutting off the Gallia invasion force from their homeworlds and reinforcements. What ressources they have will be used to set up permanent settlements on Gaya and Leeds. This also means what fleets they will have after the battle will be used as a defense against anything that Bretonia or Liberty will try to throw at them.
In the end all three parties come to a silent agreement that neither of them is able to continue this war although each of them will not officially propose any cease fire or peace talks because of all the hate that is flowing.

Well, those are my thoughts on the aftermath of the battle. Maybe I am wrong in some things because of certain actions that have happened in the past, but that I am not aware of as of now.

I'm expecting Council to take over the Gallic core worlds and declare a Republique Gauloise with the crown now in exile. With no more homefront support the fleet in New London will likely retreat into now Aquitaine, Brittany and the Taus possibly sabotaging the lane network in Leeds. The situation for Charles would somewhat mirror Louis XVIII's "reign" in real life, claiming rule over Gallia but more than likely not officially recognized by most of the other Houses.

After that I can see a 3 way cold war in the Taus between Kusari and Bretonia over control of the Taus in general with Gallia staking claims on specific Tau systems such as 23 and parts of 53.

New London holds (if it doesn't, the war just keeps going even with Bretonia collapsing, but since this is being marketed as the end of the Gallic War, it must hold. Besides, would it still be Freelancer if one of the four major capital worlds falls? I could never forgive this), an insurrection in the Gallic Core Worlds results in the Council gaining control of them and most of the GRN and GRP through mass defections, Bretonia signs a peace with Council-ruled Gallia that results at the very least in the reincorporation of Leeds.


The rest is extremely iffy and subject to extremely partial speculation. The royalists could be reduced to a Vandeè-like insurgency in the Taus, Edinburgh and Orkney or just vanish altoghether.

Edinburgh is probably going to remain Gallic even if the Council wins, the renaming of the system implies it's final, and the Gauls will have to deal with an insurgency against a Gaian movement that would best be described as Green Nazbol. Now that's an ideological mutation.

Crayter could punish the IMG to death and seize portions of Tau 31, maybe even all of it including Harris if they're quick enough, and connect Coronado to Tau 44 by taking over Baffin as well. Really, I'm surprised nobody conceived this yet, Baffin is absolutely useless otherwise and incapable of defending itself. Crayter would swell in size, but it would make an enemy of Bretonia, and probably a friend of Kusari who could look favorably at the prospect of having a buffer state next door. At the same time, it would be a massively overextended state with a tiny population, which means it would need mass immigration to even out the problem. Hint for a Crayter criminal faction: the Real Crayterian Movement, a ultranationalist group of Crayterians born in Crayter or from parents born there who don't want to become a minority in their own country. Which they technically already are, the Yuma infocard says they're a plurality, ouch, but that's just one more reason to blow up trains with thousands of people awaiting for a new life, isn't it?
This is also an opportunity to further flesh out CR lore and culture, and maybe partially de-Anglify its character before it becomes indistinguishable from Bretonia and Liberty.

Provence could be reincorporated into a Council-ruled Gallia with the same arrangement of Pennsylvania into Liberty: inRP autonomous, ingame police tag on most bases and on Marseille.

Corsairs have been participating in this war on the Gallic side with the aim of taking Gran Can and Cambridge on the long run, but they'll sod off.

The Outcasts could find more success in their attempts to market themselves as the successors of Hispania. Maybe they could even find allies in the Apostatas.

The IMG could resettle Roussillon. Kudos if it gives it back its Tau nomenclature because it isn't a Gallic world anyway, not even of refugees.

Something happens to the Nomad city in Darlington's atmosphere. It could spit out whole Nomad fleets deep into House space that would give the BAF and BIS something to do by quarantining the entirety of Newcastle, turn into another refuge for those Wild based in Drake, or something.

Ironic, because they are currently allied with Bretonia and at war with Kusari

Just persona non gratas, as far as I know.

True, but the question is do the devs feel like they can be bothered with it?

*un point c'est tout*

IMG into this house!

They should consider themselves happy to not be sent with the king

Strangely enough, no one talks about the fate of GMS.

We could break their pickaxes, and buy them 6.0

So they can work to pay for all the horrible crimes committed by their king and his army (LaHaye reinvented)!

We start from the fact of course where Galia loses.

What do we have as Gallic factions that count through their involvement?

The Council, although I don't want a new military command, I know the Council, *c'est cause toujours et ferme ta gueule* 1 new System why not Languedoc

The Maquis, 1 System offered and they have the reasonable choice, on which one

For the other factions, it could be done, on the same.

Have to be discussed by the different GOV

For all Zoners searching the Peace, welcome back to GranCanaria, etc etc
